Making progress with this new collage on reclaimed canvas for unveiling at CAMP during Thursday’s Gallery Hop Stop in downtown Danville, Kentucky (produced by the Arts Commission of Danville/Boyle County).

Yeah, I know — it’s a Bourbon thing!

“Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing being wrong.”
— Peter McIntyre
 

It has been too “moist” this week for me to make art with paper outside, so I did my studio finish to the collage that I had started at a previous Art Out. Whether or not it is apparent to others, I try to do something different each time, an interpretation or radical ingredient choice that causes discomfort at first. I think it’s important to momentarily frighten myself. Then I know that I might be breaking new ground.
